Biography

As Director of Endovascular Surgery, Dr. Kalish is widely recognized for his clinical research in vascular surgery, which has significantly improved the quality and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided access during peripheral vascular intervention. At BMC, he developed and led the hospital’s Inferior Vena Cava Filter Retrieval Taskforce and presented the results at national meetings. Dr. Kalish has received several awards and honors, including the Society for Vascular Surgery’s E.J. Wylie Traveling Fellowship for his leadership in improving care for amputees, based on lessons learned from the Boston Marathon bombing. He adopted advances observed during visits to military centers into his civilian practice, and formed a multidisciplinary team (STRONG) to benefit amputee patients at BMC. Dr. Kalish has been an excellent teacher and mentor to medical and physician assistant students, residents, vascular surgery fellows, as well as junior faculty, not only improving their surgical skills but also encouraging clinical research initiatives.
